How to Make Custom Watch Dials using laser engraving on fiber laser: power settings, speeds, & setup

How to Make Custom Watch Dial and custom watch using a fiber laser. I am a custom watch dial maker and make custom watch products. In this video, I make a custom watch dial using a 33mm brass watch dial using Lightburn using the 3D slice setting and 300 laser engraving passes to engrave a custom moon surface relief image onto a brass blank that is .7mm thick. The dial takes about 4 hours to output and about another 2 to 3 hours to finish by hand afterwards. I end up spoiling my first dial with too much paint and so I make a second one (off camera using the same process as the first) except instead paint I use a chemical call Brass Black to color it and it really looks a lot better. I also added some glow in the dark pips (hour markers). I also sealed the dial with a transparent ceramic coating to help prevent it from tarnishing later. The brass blank is .7mm thick; a regular watch dial is .5mm thick so if you use a thicker metal you’d have to raise the hand height slightly. If I run hands to the pips I installed I would have to run quite a bit higher. In this case I didn’t build this into a watch as this build was specifically for this video. The fiber laser is a Raycus 50W fiber laser that I’ve had for about 2 years. It works really well for me. I run Lightburn but it can also run EZCad.
